Actually it was probably put there by an earlier failed install  
because of the python25 framework bug.

See
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16068>
and
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16334>

The port does work after you force the install, but the registry gets  
all messed up - macports thinks py25-pyqt4 is active but a "port  
contents py25-pyqt4" yields nothing. This is why I'm all for fixing  
the framework bug even if it means users having to reinstall all py25- 
* ports.


Cheers!
